Sadie Sink joins the mystery in Spider-Man Brand New Day

More than a decade after the death of the singer-songwriter, Joan Sebastian’s succession is moving forward. A court in Hidalgo County, Texas, issued a resolution that accredits the legal heirs of his assets.

The performer, known as the People’s Poet, died on July 13, 2015 without leaving a clear will. This unleashed a long dispute between some relatives, with allegations regarding the administration of their assets.

Official recognition of heirs

José Manuel Figueroa, son of the artist, published a statement on Instagram. The document details that the recognized beneficiaries are José Manuel Figueroa González, Zarelea Figueroa Ocampo, the succession of Julián Figueroa Fernández, Joana Marcelia Figueroa Espín, Juliana Joeri Figueroa Alonso, D’Yave Figueroa Espín, Alina Espín Villalobos, Alejandro Jesús Chaidez-Figueroa (son of Trigo de Jesús Figueroa González) and the descendants by Juan Sebastián Figueroa González.

The resolution also informs the removal of the previous executor and the appointment of a new administrator to manage the estate.

The legal dispute continues in Mexico

Although the Texan court recognized Julián Figueroa’s estate as beneficiary, the rights that corresponded to him became part of the inheritance of Julián himself, son of Maribel Guardia. That process is still in Mexican courts.

Imelda Garza Tuñón, widow of Julián Figueroa, challenged her husband’s will. She alleged that the signature did not match and that there were inconsistencies about where the document was executed. Therefore, the Mexican authorities must first resolve who will inherit that portion.

In this sense, the hereditary rights of said portion are safe and will be determined according to the result of the succession procedure of Julián Figueroa in Mexico.

The statement proposes two scenarios: that Julián’s youngest son is recognized as universal heir, or that both the minor and Imelda are considered according to what the judges determine.

Music properties and rights

The inheritance includes at least 51 properties in Guerrero, Jalisco, Veracruz and Morelos, in addition to the rights derived from his musical work. The total value has never been officially revealed.

The litigation has required legal teams in Mexico and the United States. The death of Julián Figueroa in April 2023 also temporarily suspended the procedure. Now, with the resolution in Texas, the case takes a new step, but the dispute in Mexico continues.

Armed attack on the Puebla-Tehuacán highway

Two collaborators of the singer Memo Garza were injured during an attempted assault recorded in the early hours of June 28. The artist and his team were returning from a presentation in Tlaxcala when they were intercepted by an armed commando.

According to an official statement, the events occurred at the height of the Xonacatepec bridge, on the Puebla-Tehuacán highway. The truck in which they were traveling was hit multiple times by bullets.

“We will be communicating in a timely manner any update on his health status and the development of the situation,” the group said.

Fortunately, the injuries are not serious. As a consequence, Garza canceled the concert he had scheduled for this Sunday. The new date has not been reported.

Who is Memo Garza?

Originally from Cadereyta, Nuevo León, he rose to fame as the vocalist of La Adictiva, a group he joined in 2014 and where he remained for almost a decade. With her he performed hits like “After you, who?”, “El viejón” and “Te will tell you.”

In 2023 he announced his departure to start a solo career. He has released songs like “Retornable”, “Chulada” and “Mándame la Ubi”. So far, no people have been arrested for the attack.

After five days of searching, Gabriela Fleritt’s family confirmed the discovery of her lifeless body along with that of her daughter Andrea Laya and her grandson Mariano. The only survivor is little Sebastián, the actress’s other grandson.

The Venezuelan comedian and actress lived in Residencia Las Palmas, near the Macuto parish, in the state of La Guaira, the area most affected by the earthquakes.

The Five Day Search

Eduardo Fleritt, nephew of the actress, was the main promoter of the rescue efforts. Through publications on networks, he requested citizen support to locate his relatives.

The night before last, the young man reported that they had found the bodies of the three members who were still missing.

“With deep pain we inform that, after confirmation from our relatives and neighbors present at the scene, our beloved Gabriela Fleritt, Andrea Lava and Mariano Serrano were found dead.”

The news has dismayed the Venezuelan artistic community. Gabriela Fleritt was recognized for her career in television and theater in the country.
